2. Qin Zhijiang told me that New World Media is preparing to shoot its first film and is planning to cast me as the female lead.
I foolishly agreed.
He asked me again, "Do you have confidence?"
I foolishly replied, "If you have it, then I have it too."
He appointed himself as the chairman and appointed me as the general manager. At this point, other than the chairman and the general manager, there is no third person in New World. This chairman is often not in the company, and I basically handle all the basic affairs. I work hard to recruit and interview, one batch after another, sometimes so busy that I don't even have time to drink water.
HR has finally arrived, and I can breathe a little easier.
I always unconsciously compare this place with Fahrenheit.
By the way, there's something strange; ever since the last press conference, there hasn't been any news about "Time Leaves Its Mark" for such a long time.
The angle has been set, so why isn't it powered on yet? I feel conflicted; does the Hua Media still have anything to do with me? Eventually, I realized that it wasn't the Hua Media that I couldn't let go of, nor was it anyone else. It was that epic work, Time Leaves Its Mark, that I couldn't forget.
Unfortunately, I am not destined to have it in this lifetime.
Finally caught Qin Zhijiang during a gap in the company, I, as the general manager, went to the chairman's office to demand an explanation.
Sitting behind his large desk, I turned and questioned, "You say you're busy every day, and I can't see you for two and a half days out of three. I am a professional manager working for you, can't you treat me with respect instead of using me like a donkey?"
Chairman Qin personally made tea for me: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We are about to start filming the first movie at New World. This will be a milestone for you as the female lead, and as the chairman, I must make thorough preparations for the pre-production."
Hold on! These two sentences sound familiar, don't they?
Chairman Qin went abroad but still didn't forget to remotely arrange my work as the general manager: "General Manager Wu, there are a few people coming for interviews this afternoon. HR is responsible for the interviews, you just need to oversee it."
I solemnly replied, "Yes, Chairman Qin." On the other end, he obediently said "Mm, okay!" and hung up the phone, making the other person feel embarrassed.
At around three in the afternoon, the office door was knocked, and the HR, who graduated from Peking University, came in and said, "Mr. Wu, the person is in the reception room. Do you have time now?"
Pushing open the door to the reception room, the girl sitting with her back to the door turned around. Our eyes met, and we simultaneously exclaimed, "How is it you?"
The person who came in was Gu Fangfei!
"The script adaptation rights were almost finalized, but the company held a casting and press conference without signing the contract first. The creators were quite displeased with this kind of unilateral decision-making by Huashi and unilaterally terminated further cooperation discussions."
Both of the Hua executives flew over from Hong Kong, but the author avoided meeting them.
More seriously, some actions of Hua Yanzi combined with the negative revelations from the departing artists have raised concerns about the future of Hua Media, leading to a significant drop in its stock value. Now, there is widespread anxiety within the company, and many artists under its banner are looking for new opportunities. Several rival companies are poised to take advantage of Hua Media's situation...
Brother Kan...
I interrupted Gu Fangfei and said, "What about Wanni? Is her phone not working?"
"Some people are no longer worth my attention," he replied.
"Not long after you left, Wanni also resigned. I don't have her contact information here... Ting Zhi... General Wu, do you think I can... stay here?"
Regarding Hua's current situation, Gu Fangfei spoke with a tone of schadenfreude, but I knew she was just trying to take care of my feelings. Seeing that my expression showed no reaction, she continued to talk about that woman: "Hua Yanzi was sent back to Hong Kong by the two Hua brothers, who are nearly fifty and are doing everything they can to save the collapsing Hua Media. However, the situation doesn't seem promising."
Gu Fangfei Why did she come to our newly established, little-known small company? It's because her reputation in the industry is really bad. I asked HR to send her back and wait for the news.
I miss Wanni. I guess Wanni left Fahrenheit because of my burden.
After a busy day, I went out to the parking lot to drive the Bora that Qin Zhijiang left for me when a man blocked my way. "Ting Zhi, can we talk?"
It's Brother Kan!
I admit, at this moment, my heart did ache a little bit. The man who used to occupy my thoughts appeared disheveled, with a scruffy beard, and even his voice sounded hoarse. My heart ached faintly, but then I felt a sense of relief.
He and I no longer have any relationship.
He stammered, "You know, given Hua's current situation, I also..."
Indeed, those who know would say Hua Yanzi is an old cow eating tender grass, while those who don't might think the tender grass is relying on the old cow to gain status.
In this circle, many things are well known, but being well known and making a scene in the news are two different things. Although the actual situation in the entertainment industry is even more sordid than this, if your "reputation is tarnished," it means that your public image has collapsed, especially with my ex-girlfriend, who was once extremely popular but has now become a joke. Now, the internet is filled with sympathy and nostalgia for me, which makes me want to cry.
"We've just established here, and I'm afraid we can't afford a celebrity like you for the time being."
I don't mean anything else by saying this; I truly feel that we cannot compare to The Hua Media. Brother Kan has come here and is underappreciated because I know that, although he may not be the best person, his directing skills are really good. He must have misunderstood and turned around to leave. I saw Jiang Minghan come down from his "moving castle," putting an arm around Brother Kan's shoulder and guiding him into the car.
howWhere is he?
